Paolo Manzone Serralunga Barolo DOCG 2019

This Barolo opens with delicate floral notes of purple flowers and a hint of orange zest, accompanied by a subtle touch of toasted oak. On the palate, vibrant red fruit flavors of cranberry and pomegranate come forward, with a tangy edge. The wine is structured with firm, chalky tannins that provide a textured grip, leading to a smooth, refined finish. True to its Serralunga origin, it offers a reserved and age-worthy character, balanced by a refreshing burst of fruit that lingers on the finish.

Paolo Manzone is a notable producer in the Barolo zone of Piedmont, located in the Serralunga d’Alba commune, known for its tightly structured, age-worthy Barolos. Along with his wife, Luisella, he runs the winery and an agriturismo in this prime terroir. Serralunga Barolos, like those from Manzone, are known for their depth, tannic structure, and long cellaring potential. Manzone’s wines, including the Barolo "Del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba" and his signature cru, Meriame, exemplify the region’s best, offering rich fruit, black spice, and a long finish, with recent vintages like 2013 and 2015 showing outstanding quality.
